I usually don't post any thing political on Facebook. A shared Hillary post by my Dad was all until this morning when I couldn't help myself:

"Baby James had his first carrots yesterday and loved them. This morning he had a huge orange poop. I swear it looked like Donald Trump. Happy election day! #Imwithher"

our precinct leader had a bernie button on at the polling place. pretty sure he is supposed to stay outside too, but he was definitely inside trying to get the line in order and shouting about if you live at such and such address go to the other part of the building to vote.

#365 and I was before 10AM. Had ~500 total for the primaries.

Not sure about the machine reset, but my neighbor is the polling machine nazi. You write you name and address on an index card, then hand it to the sign in person who finds your name and hands you back the index card after you sign. You then need to hand the index card to the machine nazi who points you to a machine, so now way to go again. And BELIEVE ME FOLKS you're not getting past Rosie without an index card.

Not sure about the reset thing, I'll ask her in the coming days.

are you allowed to post your ballot in your state?
New Jersey – State law prohibits showing a completed ballot to others. A new law is working its way through the state legislature that would make it legal to post ballot photos in social media, but it will not be enacted until after Election Day.

Pennsylvania — There is no state law on the books prohibiting ballot selfies, but individual counties are allowed to prohibit taking photos inside polling places.

Delaware has a policy against cell phones in voting booths, but elections officials have said they don’t know that they can control what happens behind the curtain.

In September, the Pennsylvania Department of State released guidance on the issue.

“They recommend that if someone is going to take a selfie that they only take a picture of their ballot and no one else’s. Secondly, they strongly recommend that they do not post this picture until they have left the polling place,” said Christmas

Pretty insane that we have 2 years of campaigning and, like, a 12-hour window in which to vote
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Well at least you had the foresight to ask that BEFORE dropping it in. I didn't think of it until I drove off, and I doubt the geriatric manning the shredder would've known anyway, being asleep and all.

poll watchers bused in from Connecticut!

the Voter Protection Team are attorneys that volunteered to make sure no one is denied a vote or does something illegal, much like RP did in VA.
